Saturday's accident was not the first emergency at DIA for the Boeing 737 that swerved off the runway Saturday evening, injuring 38 passengers. The same passenger jet had to make an emergency landing in Denver 13 years ago.
The Boeing aircraft with tail number N18611 was flying at 31,000 feet on Sept. 19, 1995, when an engine on the right side started vibrating, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane landed safely in Denver, and the engine was removed and replaced. Investigators determined that a bearing failure was the cause of the engine shutdown.
